Once Novell Client is installed, check your network protocol configuration.
See “Configuring Network Protocols” on page 18.
Configuring Network Protocols
After you install Novell Client, make sure that it is configured correctly for
your network.
WARNING: Before you configure network protocols, make sure you have the
correct information and any addresses needed. If you configure protocols
incorrectly, the workstation will not be able to connect to the network, or it might
conflict with other workstations using the same address.
1 Do one of the following:
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT: Right-click Network Neighborhood,
click Properties, select the protocol that you want to configure, and then
click Properties.
Windows 2000 and XP: Right-click My Network Places, click
Properties, right-click Local Area Connection, select the protocol that
you want to configure, and then click Properties.
2 Configure the protocol options in each tab, then click OK.
For example, if your network uses DHCP to assign IP addresses
automatically, click the IP Address tab and then click Obtain IP Address
Dynamically. Or, if you must use a static IP address, click Specify an
Address and enter a valid IP address.
HINT: Click the question mark in the upper-right corner and then click in any field
for more information.
3 Click OK to make the changes.
You might be prompted to supply the Windows operating system CD. If
you do not have access to the correct files, you might not be able to create
a network connection.
You should now set the Novell Client properties for the workstation. See
Chapter 3, “Setting Client Properties,” on page 41.
